That's all there is to say, really: Endangered Weapon B: Mechanimal Science is finally out.
I've been talking about this project for so long now - since October 2009, to be precise - that it's hard to know what to say now that people actually get to see it. (Okay, quite a lot of people have already seen bits of it, thanks to Free Comic Book Day and the Myebook preview, currently at an astonishing 50'000 views, but you know what I mean.)
I guess I could say what's actually in the book? I mean, I've possibly been a bit cryptic in the past, rattling on about mechanically enhanced grizzly bears battling Nazi dolphins on the moon and whatnot. Although in fairness, that's actually a fairly concise summary of the introductory story. Then there's issue one, The Tentacles of Doom, which was partially included in the FCBD issue and which covers the origins of our protagonist the Professor, his chief engineer and unwilling prospective child bride Tilly, his ursine factotum Banjo and his ninja butler, the redoubtable Wiffles ... along with some stuff about psychic squid and giant killer carp and, oh, Mothra, possibly. As for issue two, The Monsters of Monster Island, that sees the Professor encountering Dracula, the Wolfman and the Invisible Man, and discovering what really happened to Frankenstein and his monster. And then there are some Endangered Weapon-themed games, (because what comic book is complete without at least a couple of games?), and an introduction by the wonderful Mr Paul Cornell.
So that's Endangered Weapon B: Mechanimal Science. Ain't it Cool News described it as "...a MONTY PYTHON / Mike Mignola love child," and they were more right than they'll ever know. You can pick it up from Amazon here, in Kindle or in print direct from publisher Markosia.
And in the meantime, here's a picture of an airship disguised as a bumble bee approaching Dr Frankenstein's castle:
